My partner and I got diagnosed. Once I got my meds I was actually able to clean the house. It feels amazing to keep up with chores and not live in filth. It always felt like I had to force myself to continue but I’m actually having fun and feeling proud of myself when I complete tasks.

I was not technically a newbie since I had previously used ubuntu in the distant past (as if ubuntu would truly prepare someone for a more advanced distro), and probably a few others I can’t remember, but I came back with EndeavourOS and I’m having a great time. I did have a few challenges though I am fairly tech savvy and I knew what I was getting into so I was definitely not a regular novice.

After a single serious oopsie that bricked my system but I was able to fix I’ve been running a very stable system. I’ve kept with it for nearly 2 years now on my initial install with practically no issues, at least none I wasn’t willing and able to solve. I troubleshot an issue I was having with a package installation the other day without finding any help online and that made me proud of myself.

I would have considered myself a decent power user on windows, and I feel like a sub average arch user, but hey I get to learn and improve more now.

Oh this one was close to getting me

Okay… Sending it to him cause he loves making fun of me for being american :/

Sending this to my new british friend asap

Years of relating to ADHD people and memes, sure I had it and “planning” to get around to it, and I finally actually went to see a doctor.

I for one welcome my new butt overlord

me frfr

oh yeah that’s super exciting, I was just making a silly joke

Oh good, everyone just hates sex. Glad we’re finally doing something about it.

Honestly sounds like a disaster, what stops someone from controlling information by aggressively seed-boxing their chosen agenda?

my partner is going to a psych today and I’ll be going too if it proves to be affordable

you are welcome~

there are 2 salutes in the USA, o7 and hand over heart. This was very explicitly what it “appears to” be, and there is no excuse.

As stressed as I am and as scared as I am I will remember the time I spent loving and caring for my partner and my queer friends. It doesn’t take privilege to find and love in a community, it is what we do. If you have trauma I understand how you feel, and I urge you to seek help when/if you can, professional or otherwise. Just don’t be alone, and try to have hope.

That’s not the point, the idea is years from now there will be things that stood out from this time and you’ll’ve remembered them fondly, without the hurt and the struggle that stand out to you now.

The wish is that now we can focus on the good things, the things that are happening now and enjoy them as fondly as we will remember them.

😭

what do they call it, “Get stuck in impossibly tiny hole upside down and die”?

Spelunkers are crazy, out of every stupid thing you could do that has a high chance of killing you of you if you make a tiny mistake you choose spelunking?

I’m polyam, anything outside the boundaries you set with him is cheating. So if he broke those boundaries, he cheated, simple as.
